Upcoming Events: Support Our Shelter, Support Our Cats
Join us for our upcoming events, where every dollar raised directly supports the care and well-being of the cats at Carbon County Friends of Animals. These events are more than just opportunities to connect with fellow animal lovers—they are lifelines for our shelter. As we receive no government funding, fundraising and donations are critical to maintaining our operations and providing the best possible care for the abandoned, stray, and abused cats who rely on us. Your participation and generosity make a real difference, ensuring that these cats have the chance to live happy, healthy lives while awaiting their forever homes. Together, we can continue this vital work—one event, one donation, one life saved at a time.
